Comparison and Identification of Static Electrical Terminal Fuel Cell Models

Six steady-state fuel cell electrical terminal models are compared using experimental data from an Avista Laboratories SR-12 500 W proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The paper begins by reviewing the physical effects in a fuel cell. The proposed electrical terminal models are introduced in terms of these physical effects, parameterized for identification and compared using the measured data.
